Quote of the Day

A night this weekend (they all blur together), as I was putting the wee little ones to bed, Bee broke into real, heart-wrenching sobs. These weren’t I’m-so-tired-so-I-think-I’ll-cry kind of tears, these were the real deal.

Me: Bee! What’s wrong, sweetheart?Bee: I want to go to the zoo! <sobs>Me: Okay, we can go this weekend.Bee, in between sobs and hiccups: Because I have to see the giraffes and the elephants and the zebras because I haven’t see them in a long time.Me: Okaaay…Bee: Because I wanted a zebra for my birthday my whole life and you never! gave! me one! <more sobbing>Me: …

We went to see the zebras yesterday. But I still didn’t buy her one. I know – I’m so mean.
